tech question (long)

Hello all. here's the question: i have excess wear on the outside of my front left tire. other tires appear to be alright. i have not noticed any drivability issues besides some tramlining. does this sound like bad shocks at all four corners or bad tie rods/other suspension gremlins at the front left? i have taken it to two different mechanics and got different views.

thanks

Sounds like the LF is toed IN or it has positive camber.

Alignment would rule both in/out.

agree with mark... you would think you could see positive camber though...
